A quick note to the reader, I rarely use capitalization and punctuation properly when writing poetry. That said, lets move along.

surreptitiously she stepped across the stones
rain drops showering the water around her
making the pond splash and shimmer
a few inches deep, gentle fish
swim, oblivious to the drizzle above
their multicolored coats glimmering in the wayward sunlight
Rose lips quirk upward, only glimpsed
under the edge of an umbrella
held by an ivory hand
A slow fog rolls in with the mist
and with it, a tall figure across the pond
is seen, nearly obscured by foliage
her dark eyes rarely miss a thing
and with a turn and a smirk,
she seems to
vanish into the haze

Gold rays settle
Slowly filter into view
Mingled with crimson
Tinted and glimmering
From behind these lace curtains
Wondering...wondering..
Always wondering
Ever separated by
the cold pane
Fingertips pressed
ever so carefully
against the cool glass
Small, steady steam
Grows and shrinks
with each undulation of breath
All until
Nothing can be seen.


any feedback is welcome, I just needed an outlet to share. ^_^

a hand arched up, gracefully
stretching to the sky
the metronome ticks and the
piano begins
a rustle of tulle
as she twirls
her dance is reminiscent
of a capricious bird
longing for the sky
resenting the cage
yet fearful of freedom
and loneliness
each step painstaking
each movement breathtaking
as the sun rises
a burst of birds
scatter from the horizon
